@JimMartin Either way, it's an important one!

@JimMartin I believe that quote actually originated with the Jewish philosopher Philo of Alexandra in the second century...but I could be wrong 🙃.

@chrisaltrock Sometimes those "deletes," at least for this Sunday, are good to keep for another Sunday somewhere down the road. At least that's my experience. (Of course, some just deserve to be "trashed" altogether 🙃.)

[Alan Henderson @papaprof]

@joshgraves Indeed it is. A good read. (But...was it real? 😉)

[Jim Martin @JimMartin]

I was a young preacher. Marvin Phillips was preaching nearby. Early one morning, I ran with him. Eventually, he asked what I was reading. I had been reading something very negative/critical of other ministers. --"Be careful about what you put into your mind." Still very true.

[Alan Henderson @papaprof]

@PhillipCamp Agreed! I vote for you for Oreosident!

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

I’m gonna put this right here: I’m not a fan of immodesty. What I am is simply completely creeped out by hyper fundamentalist dudes objectifying women and telling women in detail how not to dress in pictures so that we unrighteous crudes don’t make these righteous dudes stumble.

[Burk Parsons @BurkParsons]

Pastors, let's remember that we're not called to win people by our personalities or our programs but to preach Christ and him crucified and to serve God's flock with his appointed ordinary means of grace, not with our own devised tactics, so that God gets the glory, not us.

[Anthony Parker🕊️ @ab_parker]

In the church, when we focus on our preferences, we divide; when we focus on God's purpose, we unite.

[Chris Seidman @chrisseidman]

What the Spirit of God does through us is second to what God has done for us through the cross of Christ. Our redemption doesn't come from God working through us but Jesus dying for us.

[Chris Seidman @chrisseidman]

However God has gifted you, it's not really your gift. It's His to you and through you to be used for His glory and the benefit of others. It doesn't say anything about how good you are but how good He is.

[Steve Schirmer ن @SteveSchirmer]

As Afghanistan gets pushed more and more to the back of the news cycle line and other topics take front and center (never takes long anymore), I encourage you to keep Afghans in your prayers, especially those who want to leave or have left already.

[Anthony Parker🕊️ @ab_parker]

The more the rich young man pressed Jesus, the more difficult Jesus's call became. Going deeper spiritually means sacrificing more.

[Phillip Camp @PhillipCamp]

There also seem to be many who don’t get that some are content with less responsibility and pay if it means more time for other things.

[Joshua Graves @joshgraves]

I've been around church and hoops my whole life (I'm 42). Religion and sports bring out the BEST and the WORST in people. Why? Because they are mirrors -- church and sports reveal who we are and we can't hide. Today you get to choose which one will be true --the best or worst!

[Andy Stanley @AndyStanley]

In the shadow of my hurt, forgiveness feels like a decision to reward my enemy.

But in the shadow of the cross, forgiveness is merely a gift from one undeserving soul to another.

The question before the church is this:

What do we do tomorrow when what we do today no longer works like it did yesterday?
